Wow Mao

In 1973, Chairman Mao, while engaging in bilateral trade talks with Henry Kissinger, considered “exporting” 10 million women to the US, saying, “What we have in excess is women.”

Kissinger replied that the US had no quotas or tariffs for Chinese women.

Mao continued, “Let them go to your place. They will create disasters. That way you can lessen our burdens . . . By doing so we can let them flood your country with disaster and therefore impair your interests. In our country we have too many women, and they have a way of doing things. They give birth to children and our children are too many . . . We have so many women in our country that don’t know how to fight.”
